characteristics of the Pug Dog.

There are not more than fifty pug dogs
in ST. Louis, and yet they are in great de-
mand. The reason they cannot be sup
piled is because they are hard to get.
Their race peculiarities are strange, and
hence they do not multiply as rapidly as
other breeds. Not more than four or five
are had at one litter, and they will not re-
tain their breed if crossed. When thus
crossed with other breeds the puppies lose
the characteristics of the pug and re-
semble the crossed breed. This is good
explanation of their rarity. 1t was only
in the last fifty years that these pets of
society could be obtained by everybody.
They were formerly bred by certain mem
bers of the nobility of Europe, and the
strain remained family possession. The
qualification of being rare was not the
only one that rendered the pug valuable.
He is essentially a pet. I never heard of
a case where a pug dog had the rabies.
He has an excellent temper, SO that he is
safe for children. OF course, he is not a
fighter or watch dog, but these are not
qualifications demanded of a pet He is
delicate, like all lap dogs, liable to become
overfed, but he makes up for that by gen
eral amiability. I am great friend of
the pug, for do not think he is generally
understood .-Globe-Democrat.

PecuIiarities of Epilepsy +.

Unconsciousness enters into the gener-
ally accepted definition of epilepsy. While
this Inconsistencies is u symptom of the
disease in the vast majority of cases, there
are some exceptions. The following is a
case in point:
A married woman of 80 years had occa-
sional epileptic attacks of the usual con-
vulsive kind; but more frequently when
seized, she would scream, turn pale, cry
out, jump from the bed and run about the
room, acting absurdly and at times vio-
lentIy. On one seizure she bit her hus-
band. On coming out of the attack she
asked if she had done this. At another
time, she threw the inkstand at her moth
er's head, and fully recalled the fact her.
self with much sorrow.
It's Believed that attention in this di-
rection would show a considerable num-
Der of such cases. The matter may have
important legal bearings, inasmuch as ep-
ileptics who commit deeds of violence are
held to be irresponsible on the ground of
their Inconsistencies Com
